I made some small changes. I eliminated garlic and sweetener and substituted the minced onion with 1/4 tsp onion powder. I also simplified it by nuked the frozen spinach, and added 1/2 tblsp of low fat margarine after they were thawed. I used a much larger baking dish as there was so much mixture - 1/6/11
